Car. Now.
"Everybody move towards the door! I wanted to be on the road by seven and it's 7:05 AM! You all are messing up my schedule." Sandy Cohen's voice boomed through the house.
Ryan picked up his small backpack and walked toward the door, but couldn't help but drag his feet. This family vacation was already old and it hadn't even started yet. But if Sandy was going to map every five minuets, he figured it could only get worse from here.
"Summer it wasn't my idea to go. Yeah, I know you had plans. Spend some time with Marissa…It's only gonna be three weeks… Calm down," Ryan heard the distinct sounds of Summer yelling. "Did I really tell you two? I meant three… No, sweetie you don't mean that it's a rage blackout. Do your breathing exercises. Uh huh, a fork would be uncomfortable there, but I love you too. See you in four weeks."
Ryan heard more yelling as Seth quickly flipped his cell-phone closed. Ryan raised his eyebrow at him and Seth shrugged.
"We're working out some issues," he explained.
" I said the door not the living room! Are you two deaf? Move it!" Sandy was really yelling now.
"Is that schedule this important to him?" Ryan asked Seth feeling a little nervous.
"You have no idea. Summer vay-cay 1996 I swear he scheduled when I could pee. I had to go so bad, but he made me wait three hours. It was kinda scary. Ok very scary. Don't mess with him or the 'Schedule' or he'll make you wait four hours."
"Are you serious?" Ryan asked. This vacation just got way worse.
Seth nodded. "I completely serious. Go before we leave. Go now. Run dude before he sees you.
"Boys did you hear your father? He said go to the car. Move quickly before he crosses off one of his ten minuet bathroom breaks he has planned. I won't go five hours like last trip." Kirsten breezed by with a pointed look at Seth.
" I overslept! I was like ten; you should have gotten me up. You're the one to blame for that," Seth said indigently.
" Get to the car Seth, and no crap," Kirsten said to him with her no nonsense voice.
"You heard your mother," Sandy boomed again," Car. Now."
